Apothecary bottles

[aelfgifu]

Ok, so I didn't get to making the cool prunted beakers tonight. I ended up making some apothecary bottles for Anastasia instead. I need to order the right color blue for the beakers. The bottles were a blast though. And I made them in all sorts of cool colors. They look quite funky and authentic since I was figuring out what I was doing. :-) Mathew did one and it was WAY too nice and Venetian. I got to use his goblet jacks for working on them and they ROCKED. I need to get me a set. They are, unfortunately, $300. Bleh. But so necessary for doing fine small work. Barely cooled down the glass at all as I was working it. Ideally I would have a pair before I go to England so I could bring with.. We will just have to see if I can generate enough income. Here are the jacks I want: http://www.glasscolor.com/products/default.aspx?cID=43&pID=859 or the goblet jacks from this page since I really like the tools these guys sell: http://www.cuttingedgeprdx.com/Products_/Black_Jacks/black_jacks.html Want want want.. sigh

Just took pics of a bunch of glass which I will link to my web page. Progress! I will hopefully have them up tomorrow so people can tell me what glass they wish to buy!

I promised to go help Mathew do some more marver casting tomorrow. More baby footprints. DOOM! This time I will remember to wear non-synthetic pants... Last time I wore my prana rock climbing pants which have webbing in the pockets and it did make me a might nervous when my pocket started heating up. Luckily nothing melted...

So proud of myself - I went to Fabric Depot before glass blowing and I only bought stuff for Hank to work on his banners. No cloth for the elfie. I was so good...
